Oh. Where I live you just send a photo taken on your phone by email. It’s only so they can say they’ve asked for proof you’re allowed to work here after all.

My downloads directory’s empty, because I organise everything to a laughable degree. People actually get inspired by how organised my PC and phone and so on are.

he was actually a better leader than Starmer

Without looking for a source: I seem to recall he’s the opposition leader who’s caused the most government U-turns in the history of the British parliament.

You could lay a lovely path across your garden and then you’d never be annoyed about it and perhaps you’d even be proud when people use it.

Have they not got emails where you live?

Once, a month or two ago, someone gave me the right of way when I wanted to cross the road next to a blind corner, and I stood there and refused to cross, the driver became visibly agitated, but then another car came screaming around the corner the other way and it would’ve shot me into orbit had it hit me.

Without meaning to push your buttons, you’ve defined honour using concepts that have to be further defined to really explain what honour is. Like you could ask what helpful is exactly, would it be helpful to do xyz, etc, and you could argue over it. But then that answers OP’s question I suppose by demonstrating that it’s not known a priori.

How are you getting on with Welsh? What are you using and have you got anyone to practise with?

I can recommend Firefox Focus if you’re like me and only use the internet on your phone to look stuff up now and again.

Bastards them!

Once I decided to end my contract with Virgin Media and they kept asking me why I was leaving, so I kept saying I didn’t want to explain, I’d just cancel (because I knew they’d do their best to talk me around) and it got to the point where I became firm, but I didn’t shout, though I wanted to.

Tangentially related: after I’d signed up to the Telephone Preference Service, I knew that the only people ringing me to sell stuff were doing so illegally, so if they persisted after I’d made that point, I used to just verbally abuse them. Right cathartic.

I used to wear one on the railway. We had these ones that you switch on with a big, loud sliding clasp on it, so if someone starts acting a bit shirty, you could often deter them just by starting the recording (which held the previous 30 seconds or something in its memory).

I’ve had Qwant foisted on me by Firefox and it’s decent enough, I find, no complaints.

I’d go further and ringfence all the basic needs so that you can’t profit from providing them, just make enough to live off if needs be.

I can do many things!

If you don’t need the lid so much, you can just punch a hole in it with a knife or tin opener, and it’ll come off like shit off a shovel.

I think that’d only help improve your confidence, because you could so easily be translating wrong thinking you’ve done it right, then establishing what you’ve wrongly said as a habit.

• It flips;
• it phones.

That solves that, then, I suppose?

Oh wow! How long had you been married to her?
